Ok guys, I just got to the shack and got their PCB etchant kit but their instructions don't talk about the items they put in the kit much.
I have a bottle of brown etchant, a sharpie marker, clear case to put liquids in, Green steel wool pad, 2 boards, 1/16" bit which is too big so ill use something else, and last but not least...the item not even mentioned in the paperwork...a bottle of "Resist Ink Solvent"
im guessing that sharpie is the "ink resistant pen"
I have a big 3 x 4.54 inch board as well...whats the best tool to cut these boards down and should I do that before or after the etching?
is if anyone here has used the shack etching pack any help would be great.
another thing is this printout of the transfer sheet is huge, I'm going to try and use a program called PCB123 to make a new transfer with the parts layed out as in the mods.
the new board will be 3" x 2.5"
